-High turnover rate in office

-there is favoritism but when it comes to giving hours/locations to people friends with dispatch

-you will be on your feet all day, so remember you signed up for it. You get 2, 15 minute breaks & 1, 30 minute break. If it’s real busy you might not get a break at all. Despite what the union or people tell you when getting hired. I complained about not getting a break the replies I got. “Was it safe, did the contractors allow & if a flagger has to be on both sides you can’t take a break. I had to lie to go to the restroom & I would take a break in there.

-No light duty

-No pulling phones out of no watches when not on break (Obvious) so don’t complain.

This job was not as a traffic controller, but was working in the office building.
There was something missing from typical office jobs such as interaction with your supervisors which mine were almost 4 days out of the office with the 5th always in meetings. There was a lack of check-ins, direction as to what you should be focusing on.
The company has been going through growing pains due to merging with another company so in essences, it was 3 companies in one which make it even more complicated to do work. This is terrible for office and traffic controllers.
Additionally, professional discussions about performance is missing. 
This company truly practices "At-Will" and continues to have high turn over until they can learn how to communicate with their front line better.

You are expendable and are very underpaid for the amount of work you're told to do.  Advancements are promised when taking another job title, but never come.  Raises are promised and never come.  Instead, they hire unskilled workers, expect you to learn traffic control design drafting with no prior experience and be able to keep up with demand.  Managers have no time for training, so you have to rely on your coworkers,who are also very busy.  There's only one corrector of plans and he's heavily overworked, yet is the best/most patient at explaining mistakes you make on plans.  The office is horrible.  They don't know what they're doing most of the time and HR doesn't have formal training.

What is the best part of working at the company?
I ‘ ve met some really down to earth people there other then that this company is out for the dollar and out for themselves you would just be another number as we all were.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Waking up a going to work for them everyday knowing you are not their priority, should you get hurt on the job they will brush it off as if your playing and punish you.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
You have to know some in higher office to get the bare minimum it’s horrible.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Unknown amount of hours regardless of weather.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Working with your co workers and taking part in keeping people save. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Not stressful if you know what to do and they along with the union have great training programs to assure everyone is qualified and safe

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Good keep your nose to the grind and take care of yourself and others also the equipment you use the culture and job is side by side 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Get call could be anytime be ready day before and go. Your like a fireman on 24/7 if your hungry want to work you go ! And do what was said to do by the leads .

work can be calm and boring to very active and required to stay alert depending on the job site.
pay is good if you have an affordable vehicle to pay for gas or get a ride with someone. unfortunately, my Yukon was costing me up to $200 in gas a week to drive to a job site.
time an a half Saturday work and double time on a Sunday.
commuting id say would be the only con next to boring days standing and doing nothing. some days it'll take over 2 hours to get to job site if your lucky an hour.
also, watch out and save up for the slow season to come, expect not to work for a couple weeks.

Like the other guy said if you don't speak Spanish don't expect to be treated the same as they will talk about you right next to you. They had major issued so now they want to cut the pay so people will quit and they can hire new people at $10 less per hour.  Also many guys are working 1 day a week and others are working 50+ hours. Why hire more people if the ones you have aren't working? To cut costs? Very few people actually speak English in the safety field communication is important.

At first it was a great job for me with good benefits and pay but you start to realize that there’s favorites and there’s guys that get away with a lot because of that even if they are being unsafe. And if your Mexican and don’t speak Spanish tho don’t expect the co workers to be nice to you. I don’t like the fact that there’s not such great things to say about this company because the owner is a good man but the people running it ain’t doing right by me.

When the work is there its good but as the lowest paid union company out there doing what we do to support others and keep them safe i feel we need to be better compensated for the work we do? Job differential pay from days to nights and after 12 hours we should get double time and antother thing due to the economy and all things going up in cost our wages need to be adjusted as well.

The journeyman love calling the office on apprentices if they feel they're advancing too quickly and feel threatened to secure their hours. Quick to throw one another under the bus and management could care less about both sides. They say they care about their employees but ultimately your expendable and they will promise you the world to keep you working....until you're no longer useful
